I'd like to see them now.

Since it's been a decade or more since these were shot, why not do a follow up?!? It would be interesting to see what these teens became!

Bored Panda, it's pretty messed up to have every single photo entitled with the names of the people in the photos but the first photo is 2 young ladies and it just says Navajo Girls. Are they not important enough to have their names their like everyone else does?? It wouldn't have been a thing for me but it's literally the only photo without their names and it makes it seem like they weren't important enough to whoever did this article to include the names. Even if that is not the case, it's still messed up. You put that photo first so really stands out that they are the only ones without names listed. I am not convinced all of these are teenagers either. Like the photo with the 2 people with one of them with a penis tattoo and the other with lots of tattoos. It's possible but unless you know someone doing illegal ink you gotta be 18 for that. Yes it's technically still a teenager but you're a legal adult too so to me it shouldn't even be included in this list, you can't be sure whether they are teens or older. A lot of these photos are more than 10 years old too, what about showing what teens are like today or making an article that shows photo comparisons of teenagers from yesteryear to teenagers of the present.

Beautiful work

Who the creeper that thought having most the guys take their shirt off was a good idea

Lovely series. With a couple of exceptions each way, the teens photographed in the early 2010s have a softness and contentment to them that’s missing from those in the late 2010s. It’s really sad to see.

Does anyone else get the impression that the black and white photographs, the lack of smiles gives off a vibe that these are mostly (not all) economically disadvantages kids who are not doing well in school, probably disfunctional home lives and are likely making or will continue to make poor life choices? Just asking.
